Clearly someone does Daviy, or you wouldn't see legal dynasty's - obviously someone is prepared to love them.

I think Lawyers as a profession are a necessary evil, and of course not all lawyers personally are evil. A few years back, I got done over badly in what should have been a simple car prang covered by insurance. A lady ran into me. The not so nice lady got out of the car, and began to lie. Then she lied to the insurance company about my name, car rego -plate and phone number, and what happened in the accident, and didn't put in a police report. Turned out she was Phd lecturer at a local University, instead of just thinking of just moving to area like she told me. I only tracked her down on the internet.

Anyway luckily for her, I had a bigger crisis to deal at the time than to pursue her in the local small claims court, and besides, I figured she was freaked out enough when she realised my son attended the same Christian school as her daughter (though I held my tongue in fact about her behaviour to the other Mum's) and she got to park next to me in the car park on a daily basis to pursue her.

Anyway, my lawyer who I was seeing about a property purchase was outraged enough to fly into action pro-bono. Her language in the letter to the miscreant was a thing of beauty, and I'm sure after receiving such a letter, this little liar will perhaps think again before she acts in a similar manner. I certainly wouldn't have had the same push factor if I sent a letter on my own.

That said I've seen the bad side. Lawyers are paid to interfere in people's lives. Maybe sometimes they don't realise where the line is out of the court. Most of us are very hesitant to intrude in other people's lives usually. I rang the police a while back when a young woman who lived close began screaming in a domestic with her partner. It was the right thing to do, I couldn't take the risk that she would be harmed, but I'm still aware she won't thank me.

Lawyers are paid to intrude all the time and be 'active' in messing around with people's lives which might set a unwelcome precedent in how they deal with people out of the courts.

There is also a bit of a whiff of protected privelge. Lawyers can't afterall be sued for mal-practice I believe. I also had the experience of a being connected through a friend to a lawyer who actually went to goal for irregularities his clients funds. Yet on release was re-admitted in another State. As far as I'm concerned any new clients should have been made aware of his history, yet as far as I'm aware that didn't happen.

on you tube there is a video on the junkies against crime site .that is called lies dammed lies and Australian politics .it discusses how addicts had their freedom stolen by these evil parasites that have made people live lives of crime all because they have committed the crime of being sick with the illness of drug addiction which forces a lot of them into prostitution servicing judges lawyers and senior police no wonder the man in the street sees these hateful exploitative people as totally responsible for the lack of respect for decent values since these people up the top of society are obvious moral prostitutes who organize laws like police pseudo watch to boost police heroin sales to the children of others and injecting room figures back up our argument against this law of slavery against the poor and addicted all this pro heroin interference in the free market by governments who are supposed to belive in free market forces

Most lawyers & judges (lawyers being merely the caterpillar stage of judges) I have dealt with seem quite personable chaps or chapettes. But then, I’ve only ever had a fleeting acquaintance with them.

On the most part, what impressions I have, were formed on a study of those specimens that seem to be attracted by the glare of the media. They usually have bright tincture :Human Rights Advocate & Refugee Advocate are two of the most common. These special colorations are formed from thousands of tiny scales. Apart from the fact that these scales have a tendency to rub off, the creature has a want to extrude a toxic substances when squeezed – in short they have qualities that makes them less than lovable.

Here’s a short field guide of some of the other characteristics they exhibit:
--They don’t just belittle popular sentiment – they seem to have a positive aversion to it .
--They present themselves as being motivated by higher principles while all the while fiddling and scheming to have the charges against someone who all the evidence would indicate is a scoundrel, thrown-out on some technicality.
--And amazingly -- for species that is keen to say a lot about the shortcomings of the public – a number of its representatives have been outed as tax cheats, spouse abusers and or liars -- and I gather that these tendencies are far from rare.

If as you say the public feels contempt for such creatures , I suggest that it is in a good part due to the publics perception that such creatures show contempt for the values of the public.

Yikes! what is this I've stepped on ….aah, I think I reduced the number of aspiring judges by one.

Now let me see; The last time I had to deal with a lawyer, it cost me heaps and he didn't tell anything I didn't know.

The only difference between a robber with a gun and lawyer, is that what a lawyer does is legal.

The next thing is that the cost of legal cases are inflated by the mere fact, that there are usually multiples of multiples of court dates, and legal delays. Equals increased legal fees which then equals increased profits.

Photocopying fees of around $20 per page. The biggest ripoff of all.
